Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General, in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Jordan in 6 April, said that the climate change is one of the biggest global challenges and said that global challenges are more connected, but our responses remain fragmented.
Un Secretary General said that Globalization and technological progress have led to remarkable advances – but they also have generated increased inequality and the risk of disruption in job markets and these may be factors in reducing trust in political establishments and in rising populism.
Antonio Guterres continued that UN tries and pursues the Sustainable Development Goals towards a fair globalization that works for all. And he said: “I am a multilateralist – and I am deeply convinced that there is no other way to deal with global challenges than with a smart, evidence-based global response, organized in a multilateral way to benefit all.
